Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 106
Gu Yin did not expect Wu Qingyi to come, but after thinking about it, she understood that it was arranged by Wang.
Wu Qingyi sat down beside her, her tall figure sank into the sofa chair, her two long legs tucked together, she looked a bit like a big dog.
“Mother is too.” Gu Yin lowered her voice and said with a smile: “If I want you to come, I’ll just share another ticket for you, why give it to you.”
Wu Qingyi smiled and said nothing. Tickets for the first show are rare. If they are added later, wouldn’t he be unable to stay with Gu Yin?
Chu Manrong dressed in a jingchai cloth skirt, holding a large wooden basin on the stage.
She timidly spoke to the house, saying that the weather was freezing outside, and asked her mother-in-law if she could use hot water at home.
Can’t live rough?
When she took her legs out of the false door frame, a strong wind blew from the other side of the stage, which made her shiver.
But no matter how cold the weather was, she could only walk to the stream with her arms crossed.
No matter how good Gu Yin is, of course it is impossible to create a stream on the stage.
So the stream is a water blue cloth that extends from the background.
The field workers in the background are regularly shaking the aqua blue cloth, looking like a flowing stream.
The traditional drama at this time did not pay much attention to the stage effect. The rest is entirely up to the spectator’s imagination.
Although the setting of this drama is incomparable with the modern ones, but compared with traditional operas, it is considered to be unconventional and exquisite.
Chu Manrong squatted on the edge of the “stream”, the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, she couldn’t open her eyes, but she was still encouraging herself, saying that the husband’s scientific examination is the most important thing, and she Since he chose to marry him, it’s nothing to suffer a little now.
.
Wu Qingyi accompanied Gu Yin to watch the rehearsal, although both times he was drunk, but he was quickly attracted by the novel things on stage.
“This wind is…” Afraid of disturbing others, Wu Qingyi leaned into Gu Yin’s ear and asked in a low voice like a mosquito.
Gu Yin’s ears were itchy, but she still said, “I had someone make a few large pieces of cardboard and put them in the waiting area next to the curtain to fan them on the field.”
Wu Qingyi followed her gaze, and sure enough, although the curtain on one side of the stage did not fly around, it was bulging.
While speaking, I only heard a few compliments, and suddenly there was thunder!
Everyone in the room was whispering at once, discussing how the sky suddenly changed.
When I found out that the wind on the stage was getting stronger, I realized that this is also a stage effect!
Wu Qingyi wanted to open her mouth again, Gu Yin covered his ear, “Don’t ask, it’s a metal plate made by me, and the foley sound made by shaking.”
Gu Yin just didn’t realize it, picked up the snack on the small table in the middle and ate it.
There are two kinds of snacks on the small table, one is rice cake, the other is rock sugar hawthorn.
Sprinkle with black sesame seeds, put them in the mold, and then cut into cubes.
The rock sugar hawthorn is the same as the rock sugar hawthorn. The fresh hawthorn is wrapped in sesame syrup. Although it is simple, it is better to be a tooth-grinding snack.
Gu Yin kept her eyes on the stage, picked up all the sugar hawthorns and ate them.
Because of the location close to the stage, her fair face was lit by the bright lights around the stage, as if covered with a layer of veil, hazy.
This is of course the lighting effect created by Gu Yin after many experiments, in order to set off the beauty of the heroine.
I didn’t expect such a light, and it made her look even more beautiful.
The so-called beauty under the lamp has no charm.
Ring, bit off a small piece.
Wu Qingyi’s throat tightened, and his Adam’s apple rolled twice unconsciously.
Gu Yin turned her face to see it, then leaned over and pushed the two plates on the small table in front of him, “Did you come here without eating? Eat this mat first. A pad. Just don’t know if it suits your taste, it’s all sweets.”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Qingyi had already taken her hand, took her hand, and put half of the fruit in her hand into his mouth.
“It’s very sweet.” His meaning is authentic.
Although they only touched for a short moment, but Gu Yin felt as if his tongue was swept by him, and immediately her cheeks blushed angrily: “There are still so many on the table, but they stole mine. doing what?”
Wu Qingyi still smiled, “It’s still the sweetness in your hand.”
Gu Yin couldn’t care less about the embarrassment, and held back a smile: “I just can’t eat sour like you, so I eat slowly.”
As he spoke, he handed the tea cup to him.
Wu Qingyi frowned and didn’t answer, raised her chin.
Gu Yin gave him another soft look, lifted the tea lid and brought it to his lips, feeding him several sips of hot tea.
After finally combining the sour taste in the mouth, Wu Qingyi’s brows relaxed.
At this time, the news came back that the stage had been performed in Scholar High School, and the daughter-in-law was kicked out of the house to seek a living.
tears.
This time, without waiting for Wu Qingyi to ask questions, Gu Yin explained: “It was a piece of paper, it was placed in a frame on the top, and when the field worker pulled it, the frame fell down, and it was ‘snowing’ already.”
Wu Qingyi smiled and said, “Shouldn’t it rain for thunder? Why is it snowing?”
“This is called ‘Thunder and Snow’. Snowfall is accompanied by thunder. Although it is rare, it is a natural phenomenon.” Gu Yin blinked slyly.
Who doesn’t know that the next downpour is better at this time?
But there is no high-pressure water gun at the moment, so it can’t create the effect of heavy rain. And even if you replace it with other methods, doing this effect indoors will wet the entire stage and all the props, and it is not easy to clean up!
The curtain fell on the stage at the back, and the spectators were dizzying to see, and hurriedly took advantage of this gap to go to the toilet.
Except for Wu Qingyi, he didn’t look at the stage very much, he still looked at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin was so embarrassed by what he saw, she whispered, “Otherwise I will play the leading role next time! Let you see enough.”
Wu Qingyi first nodded amusedly, then turned her head and said, “That’s still not possible, I’ll just look at you alone. If others look at you, I’m not happy.”
Gu Yin blushed and raised her hand to hit him, Wu Qingyi immediately squeezed her hand and only smiled: “How can I be so good at Xue Niang raising her hand and hitting someone? Let others see, maybe what? I miss you.”
“Think of me? I’m a tigress, what’s wrong.”
Gu Yin muttered in a low voice, trying to withdraw her hand, but her little strength couldn’t compare to Wu Qingyi’s.
Although there are screens on both sides, but there is still a person sitting behind, Gu Yin didn’t dare to make a big fight, so she could only obediently let him lead.
Wu Qingyi’s big palm gently kneaded her palm, thinking of the first time she held her hand to comfort her before doing things beside the Emperor Abolition.
The back of Gu Yin’s hand is still as soft as before, and the calluses on her palm have become much softer because Gu Yin didn’t have to work hard during this time.
The numbness spread like ripples layer by layer, she quickly grabbed his fingers that were making trouble, and gently squeezed back with a warning.
Wu Qingyi glanced at her flushed cheeks, and then she stopped moving, just clenched her entire palm.
Until the end of the entire drama, all the actors and field workers came to the stage to bow and thank, Gu Yincai withdrew her hand.
Gu Yin’s hands were kneaded with a thin layer of sweat by him. Seeing everyone else got up, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief and asked everyone if they had any suggestions.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, “To tell you the truth, I didn’t go to the theatre very much in the past, and I thought the theatre was noisy, just because of the book…”
She said for a while, and gave Gu Yin a “you know” look.
Gu Yin immediately understood that the first two playbooks were written by Master Wen. But Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen are deeply in love, and Mrs. Wen has a close mouth, so naturally he didn’t hide it from her.
Mrs. Wen watched the play in front of her, purely to cheer on her husband.
Mrs. Wen went on to say, “Although I came to watch the drama this time, I came here to cheer. But I really watched it later.”
Mrs. Wen Er also came over and praised: “Yeah, I’m an old drama fan, but from time to time, the stage was messed up from time to time, and when I saw the exciting part, I was beaten up. Lost interest. This is really good, once the curtain falls, the scene changes, and there is still time to go to the toilet.”
What Mrs. Wen Er said by “messy” means that although the stage setting of traditional opera is simple, it also needs to be replaced. The field workers moved the table, changed the scenery, and even brought tea and water, all without avoiding the audience, and there were other actors on the other side who continued to perform. The scene often appears a little chaotic.
For example, Mrs. Wen Er, who is not able to concentrate enough, often looks at the people behind her, and then misses the scenes that are being performed.
Mrs. Lu and others also followed suit, from each character to the set, wishing she could give Gu Yin a flower.
Seeing that they all accepted it well, Gu Yin asked tentatively: “Then if I rehearse something else, the kind of story about ghosts and scholars, would the ladies be willing to watch it?”
.
But if you do anything else, it will naturally not have this effect.
And this kind of drama must involve techniques, and a lot of thought must be spent on the set props.
Mrs. Wen and others were even more excited than Gu Yin thought, and Mrs. Lu immediately said, “That’s the best thing, I just like to watch goblins and scholars!”
The other female guests all covered their mouths and laughed when they heard it. Mrs. Lu was not annoyed, she just smiled: “Why? You don’t like to see those?”
The other female guests smiled and nodded honestly.
Afterwards, Gu Yin asked everyone to go back and write down what they wanted to see most, or what they liked the most.
After everyone chatted for a while, it was noon.
The husbands of the female guests had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and after lunch, the afternoon session had to be played again, and the morning session ended like this.
Gu Yin sent everyone out, and before she reached the door, she heard a female guest walking in front exclaimed, “Why are there so many flowers?”
Gu Yin walked out quickly, and saw that the food was under the porch of Tianmen.
Although it is early spring, the winter has just passed, and the flowers and plants have just revealed their buds, and it is not yet in full bloom.
That’s why the lady was so surprised.
“Miss Gu is really good!” The guests naturally attributed this to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin knew that these were not arranged by herself, so she turned to look at the shopkeeper Zhou and asked.
Treasurer Zhou winked at her, and then turned towards Wu Qingyi.
Only then did Gu Yin know that he got these flowers. It’s no wonder that he will come late, thinking that he is going to bother to collect these.
Their eyebrow and eye lawsuit did not hide the sperm of a person like Mrs. Lu. If Mrs. Lu whispered a few words to the handkerchiefs next to her, everyone would agree.
“Niangzi Gu is not only good, but also lucky! It’s just that this flower giver is too real, why did she even bring a flowerpot?” Mrs. Lu said, everyone He smiled narrowly.
Mrs. Lu is right, the flowers at Shiweitianmenkou are not in the form of flower baskets or bouquets, they are all in pots, with roots and soil attached.
Gu Yin’s ears are hot, shy and funny.
Wu Qingyi blushed after being told, but his complexion was dark, and he couldn’t tell if he didn’t get close.
In the end, Gu Yin handed over her hand and begged for mercy, finally making Mrs. Lu and others stop teasing her.
After Gu Yin took them to the carriage, Mrs. Lu stayed for a while and asked: “The weather is really good recently, I will hold a polo party in five days. I don’t know if you are free. Come and play with us?”
Not waiting for Gu Yin to speak, Mrs. Lu continued: “But you can’t play polo?”
Gu Yin nodded and said yes, “I’m not afraid of my wife’s jokes, I not only can’t play polo, but I can’t ride a horse.”
Mrs. Lu said what this is, and while looking at Wu Qingyi, she said: “It won’t happen to be a good time to learn, your family’s horsemanship is very good, and thousands of troops can teach it. Can’t I teach one of you?”
Gu Yin gave her a blushing look and turned to look at Wu Qingyi.
Wu Qingyi smiled and nodded with her.
Gu Yin agreed, “That’s good, then it’s up to the lady to entertain.”
After seeing off a group of guests, Wu Qingyi walked up to Gu Yin, touched her nose and said apologetically, “I’ll know next time.”
Gu Yin hasn’t reacted yet, and asked him what he knew?
“I know that you can’t bring root soil and flower pots to send flowers!” Wu Qingyi’s servant hurriedly answered, thinking about helping him take credit, and then said: “Madam I don’t know, these are generals. Some of them were bought from flower farmers, some were bought from colleagues’ homes, and some were found outside the city… It’s early spring, so many flowers haven’t bloomed yet, so it’s not easy!”
Wu Qingyi glanced at him, and the servant stopped talking.
Gu Yin laughed, looked at Wu Qingyi and shook her head: “The flowers that have gone to the root soil will wither and wither in a few days. It’s not as good as this, it can be placed for a long time, and it can also become a landscape. The restaurant adds color.”
Wu Qing’s embarrassment faded, and she replied softly, “You just like it.”
The two of them didn’t say anything, one tall and one short stood half a foot apart, you looked at me, I looked at you, and the little boy got goosebumps all over his body.
Gu Yinliu Wu Qingyi had lunch in the restaurant later, and she was going to entertain the spectators of the afternoon session, while Wu Qingyi was going to the military camp outside the city.
The drills in the barracks are mechanical repetitive movements, boring and tedious.
Today’s Wu Qingyi was full of interest. After entering the barracks, he changed into his uniform, put on his armor, and began to practice the equestrian skills of the soldiers.
In addition to the cavalry, those who can ride horses when marching and fighting are those with positions, and ordinary soldiers do not need to practice equestrianism.
Wu Qingyi pressed them to practice, no one dared to disobey, and could only bite the bullet and follow.
From noon to dusk, the day’s training is finally over, and the soldiers are crying in their hearts.
However, this is not the end, the second day, the third day, the fourth day…all the same.
When they were resting, the soldiers gathered together for a small meeting to discuss why the general was suddenly like this.
But the discussion came and went, everyone was still at a loss, and someone in the back came to a conclusion: “It must be that we have been too lazy recently, the general is obstructing the past, caring for our face, no To blame us, so by training us, remind us!”
“The general is really observant. I’m not afraid of your brothers’ jokes. I used to be a good horseman. Live the ardent expectations of the General!”
Everyone blamed themselves and dared not complain any more.
On the sixth day, everyone was accustomed to such high-intensity drills and was about to perform well in front of Wu Qingyi, but suddenly heard that he was on leave today.
…
Early in the morning, Gu Yin got up and put on the riding clothes made by the embroidered mother in the house.
The riding suit is narrower than ordinary dresses, which can better outline her bumpy figure.
Gu Ye woke up in the morning and even praised her good looks, and then pouted and said unhappily: “My dark horses have only been ridden at home, and I haven’t been outside! It’s a pity that I have class today, otherwise I will definitely follow Mother go.”
Gu Yin comforted him and said, “It’s still early for the end of spring. Mother will go take a look this time. Next time, I’ll wait for you to rest before taking you and Wu An out for an outing.”
Gu Ye then became happy. After washing up, he did not rush to set out from the next door to Prince Lie’s mansion, but went to Wu Qingyi’s study in the front yard.
Wu Qingyi also put on a brand new outfit, which was also made by the embroidered mother in the house.
Gu Ye couldn’t help but said sourly when he saw it: “Although the colors of Uncle and Mother’s riding clothes are different, the patterns are the same!”
Wu Qingyi pursed her lips in a funny way, and said, “I heard that Xiu Niang in the house is still making two small riding suits these days, the same as ours. I don’t know who it is for. Woolen cloth?”
Gu Ye couldn’t help laughing.
He knew that his mother never fooled him because he was young, and really wanted to take him and Wu An out to play!
“Then I’ll leave my mother to you.” Gu Ye stopped smiling and looked at him seriously.
Wu Qingyi also nodded solemnly, “You can rest assured. I will protect and take good care of her.”
Although Gu Ye is not yet seven years old, there is no need to say anything more at this time, the two of them have a tacit understanding between men.
It was late and Gu Ye left for the palace.
Wu Qingyi packed up and left the study.
The little servant wanted to go out with him. He was also born in poverty. When he went back to the polo club for the first time, he couldn’t help but asked aloud: “General, is it dangerous to play polo? Do you need it? Need a little more manpower?”
What are many people doing?”
The little servant scratched his head and didn’t understand: “Why is the little son so serious?”
Wu Qing wanted but smiled.
Where is Gu Ye talking about today’s polo club?
This little brat finally recognized him!
